Port Hercule

Port Hercule, a prestigious harbour

The Monaco audio-guided tour invites you to stroll at Port Hercule, both at the foot of the Rock and below Monte-Carlo. It is a pleasant transition where locals and families gather, while wealthy boaters moor their yachts there.

A deep-water harbour

Port Hercule is one of the only deep-water Mediterranean harbours. Over an area of sixteen hectares, it offers several hundred mooring places, welcoming both small craft and luxurious vessels. Behind the gentleness of today's stroll lies a long history of developments, which have made this sheltered roadstead one of the beating hearts of the Principality.

What there is to see

Along the quays, you admire the yachts, enjoy the café and restaurant terraces, and sometimes attend nautical events. The port is also crossed by the Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit and hosts, in winter, an ice rink and entertainment. Between the Rock and Monte-Carlo, it is a convivial place of life and an essential stop of the walk.
